Chapter 569: The Shuangliao Crisis of the Japanese Army in the Eastern Crusade (2)
The arrival of reinforcements from the division headquarters made Taro Inoue breathe a sigh of relief, but he was only relieved, and he was not completely relieved. The strength of the ** squadron and the determination of the troops to annihilate him shocked Major General Inoue, so at this time, his mood did not feel relieved by the arrival of the more than 50 Type 97 chariots at the division headquarters, but a premonition that was not like it spontaneously.
According to the standard configuration of the Japanese army's first-class divisions, the 14th division should be equipped with about 15-20 tanks of a tank brigade at most, but now the Japanese army not only dispatched more than 40 tanks at the beginning, but also the number of Japanese tanks that have just participated in the war is also quite a lot, adding up to about 100 tanks, which is equivalent to the entire equipment of most of the tank brigades. It seems that the little devil is preparing to yin him Wang Weizhou once.
Thinking of the depths, Wang Weizhou's face suddenly turned pale, fortunately, Wan Guoquan's armored division arrived successfully tonight, otherwise, more than a hundred chariots would be enough for his second division to drink a pot, even if the casualties of the troops who barely held the position were definitely not small, and the good situation that was finally achieved was likely to be destroyed because of this.
Don't look at the order given by Commander Han to the Northeast Army Division is to contain and attract the main force of the Japanese army, and the actual direction of the main battle is the Baicheng line. But you must know that the PLA on the front line of Baicheng is not used to attack, but otherwise to advance to the hinterland where the Japanese garrison is empty, so the main battlefield of the battle is still on their side. Moreover, Wang Weizhou has heard that Commander Han has already set off for the south, and he should arrive in Tongliao in the near future, and the main force of the Japanese army will inevitably go south at that time.
Now the most exciting thing on the battlefield should belong to Wan Guoquan, he has already learned the performance of the Soviet T-34, the combat effectiveness is Geng, hitting the Japanese army's ninety-seven style is like knocking eggs, and the small cannon on the Japanese tank hitting the T-34 is basically the same as tickling.
Just now, the Japanese army's 33 97 type really didn't make Wan Guoquan happy, just now in order to test the actual combat performance of the T-34, so he didn't go all out, so 150 T-34 eliminated 33 97 type stunned It took more than 40 minutes, Bi Jing This is the first battle of the T-34 on the Chinese battlefield, and the soldiers are not very skilled in operation, so Wan Guoquan needs more opportunities to train his tank soldiers.
After receiving the scout's report, Wan Guoquan immediately ordered: "Order: The 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Armored Division immediately bypassed the battlefield to meet the Japanese reinforcements, and the 1st Brigade Commander personally led the team. The 1st Brigade, 2nd Regiment and 3rd Regiment continued to attack the Japanese positions. ”
With the order of Wan Guoquan was given, the 50 tanks that rushed to the front suddenly turned and rushed towards the north of Aldu. The remaining tanks did not change direction and continued to attack the positions of the Japanese 14th Infantry Brigade.
The position of the 14th Infantry Brigade has been shattered, and the casualties of the troops are extremely large, although the soldiers of the 14th Infantry Brigade are indeed very brave, but how can the flesh and blood collide with the steel, and the gap that was finally plugged was opened again, this time although the Iwata Wing Captain Iwata Osa personally led the guards up, but still failed to plug the gap, but in a burst of rapid artillery fire, Iwata Osa was directly blown to pieces.
"Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, that the position in the northwest direction has been broken by the Shina tank, and the Iwata Wing has been forced to begin to retreat." Once again, the operations staff officer walked in quickly and reported.
"Nani, Yaga, what about that bastard in Iwata, what kind of life is he, how can he let the chariots of Shina break through the position, what about our white spoon reinforcements, where are the 50 chariots?" Major General Inoue asked in surprise and anger, he did not expect that the last line of defense would be broken by the Chinese when reinforcements had already arrived.
"Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, Wing Commander Iwata had died in battle 5 minutes ago, having been hit head-on by 2 shells from the Shina tank, and there was not even a body left. In addition, our White Spoon reinforcements were blocked by the Shina tank detachment two kilometers north of the second line of defense, and are now in a fierce battle and cannot break through for the time being. The combat staff officer replied.
"Yaga, how did that bastard from Miyamoto run to the north of our position, didn't I ask them not to have a hard time with the Shina chariot troops?" Major General Inoue knew that the only thing he could count on now was the aviation units that took off from Shenyang and Changchun airfields, but only if he could hold out until the arrival of the aviation units. Therefore, Major General Taro Inoue ordered the Miyamoto Chariot Wing that came to support not to fight head-on with the squadron, but to drive all the chariots into the position as a fixed battery.
Although the use of the chariot as a fixed artillery battery is somewhat more than worth the loss, the most obvious thing is that it limits the mobility of the chariot, and the chariot that loses its mobility becomes a living target for the chariot unit of China, and the chance of being saved is very small. But Inoue Taro took into account the overall situation, Aldu is the gateway to Shuangliao City, once Aldu is occupied by the Chinese army, then there is no danger between Aldu and Shuangliao City, and the speed of the Chinese army will soon be able to attack Shuangliao City.
The most troublesome thing is that now there are no other defenders in Shuangliao City except for a poor division headquarters and less than 2,000 infantry divisions of the Imperial Association Army, and it is not easy to capture Shuangliao City with the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army opposite him, so no matter what, the squadron cannot be allowed to occupy Aldu. Although it is likely to push the entire chariot wing into the abyss of death, it can block the progress of the chariots, even if the Miyamoto chariot wing is destroyed, but the wreckage of the chariot can build a steel defense line on the periphery of the Japanese position, and the wreckage of the chariot can definitely block the advance of the chariot in China, which is the same as sinking a ship in the river, as long as the river is blocked, no big ship will want to go over.
Only in this way could his infantry brigade wait for reinforcements from the aviation unit, but what Major General Inoue did not expect was that the Miyamoto chariot wing ran to the north of the main position of Aldu, completely exposing the already dilapidated position of the 14th Infantry Brigade under the guns of the Chinese chariot unit.
"Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, that Miyamoto Osa refused to carry out your order, and that two minutes ago Osa had already led the chariot wing to bypass the position and launch an attack on the Chariot unit of China." The operational staff officer continued to answer.
"Yaga, Yaga, Miyamoto idiot, I'm going to send him to a court-martial, I'm going to send him to a court-martial." Major General Inoue did not expect Miyamoto Daisa to dare to openly disobey his orders, which is difficult to imagine in the Japanese army, which has a strict system and hierarchy.
"Your Excellency, our army's position is in danger, please prepare as soon as possible!" After the combat staff officer finished speaking, he turned around and went out.
Major General Inoue thought for a while and said: "Gucun, I now order you, as the brigade commander, to immediately return to Shuangliao City with all the confidential documents of the brigade headquarters and the brigade cavalry squadron, and also take away the captain of the Shangcun Wing and the first brigade of the Shangcun Wing, and I will lead the remaining troops to cover for you." ”
The chief of staff of Furumura looked at Major General Inoue in surprise, he did not expect that His Excellency the brigade commander would give such an order.
"Furumura, we have already been defeated, we can only withdraw part of our troops before the infantry of the Zhinajin has not yet closed here, otherwise our 14th Infantry Brigade will be completely erased from the battle sequence of the Kwantung Army by the Zhinajin, you understand?" Major General Inoue now doesn't even have the strength to curse Miyamoto Daisa, he knows that the troops can no longer wait for the aviation unit, so he can only do his best and withdraw part of the troops.
